Origami

Hello I’d like to share my passion of origami and connect with other folders around the world here on 7 cups. I’d like to inspire others to give origami a try! I recommend YouTube videos and finding books and learning from diagrams. 


A little about my username: img-5517-original_1734605216.jpeg



If you were wondering what my wish was it was health related centered around my mental health journey back in 2017. Fun fact I folded 1000 cranes twice actually the second time being during quarantine 2020 for a friend who had jaw surgery. If you wondered how long it took me around 4 months to complete. I also used a kit where the paper came with it. img-6160-original_1734605449.jpeg

Thank you for the kind words I appreciate it. I’m also very happy to hear about the butterflies because they are one of my favorite models to fold. I actually memorized how to fold  Makoto-cho by Michael G. LaFose.

Another butterfly model I like folding is by Matthew Gardiner.

I’m curious which model you will find to fold because butterflies are very different and have different levels of complexity. I also would love to see the butterfly you chose to fold! I’d love to see pictures too or links to YouTube videos. 



P.S. If you have read this far what’s your favorite color or rather do you like patterned paper vs solid colors? I’d love to discuss paper in another thread too! As always most importantly have fun folding :)
